William Gardiner in London

from Music and Friends: Or, Pleasant Recollections of a Dilettante, page 650:

[W]e drove to the Bavarian chapel, and, by the aid of eighteen pence each, obtained an uncomfortable seat. Here the masses of Haydn and Mozart are as well executed as the mere accompaniment of the organ will permit: it is only in the cathedrals abroad that you can have these divine compositions properly performed.
